Hello, all! This is the Raven's Nest, my little corner of the world for you to leave me messages. Just FYI, though, this is the snail-mail way to get a hold of me. Usually you can find me in IRC between 9 and midnight CST, and my IRCbot, TheRaven, is there to take messages, at least for now. (Just say r.help if you have questions.) Older messages are archived at the archive page. Thanks!

Apprentice Assignment

Good day, Mentor

I was wondering when I would get my first assignment, have you had the chance to think of one for me yet? I don't mean to be a bother, I'm simply excited to start ^^; I hope you are well. Crookandcharlatan (talk) 10:05, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, Mentor, I believe I've revamped the Aveline de Grandpré article (please evaluate the official article, not the one in my sandbox, cause I made some small final edits to the former which aren't present in the latter) to the best of my abilities. I didn't quite know where I should leave you messages about my progress (pigeoncoop? IRC?), so for now, I'll just use this :)

EDIT: I saw the memo on the IRC seconds after I'd posted this. Will get to work on those final paragraphs then. Apprentice out :P Crookandcharlatan (talk) 12:45, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

About TST

Hey bro, have you heard from my mentor? If not, it's okay. Thanks.

Cheers,

AgentG231 (talk) 05:42, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

I see him on now and again. His last appearance on IRC was today, according to NickServ. Have you talkpaged him recently? DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{<font color="#F00">Raven's Hunt</font>} 05:45, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Also, speak on IRC :P We see your account and don't hear from you much. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 05:48, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I already left a message on his talk page. Uh, I left my acct online in IRC yet it is on "away" mode. BTW, I'll try to go to the IRC... --AgentG231 (talk) 05:51, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Have you seen him bro? Because it has been a few months since he went dark... Thanks. --AgentG231 (talk) 09:28, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad page

Hello. I see you are the bureau member who is working on the revamp of the Altair page, according to the header. Would you mind some help with that? I'm interested in assisting with whatever the page needs to hit Featured status, so if you're willing, might I be of assistance?

-Molotov.cockroach (talk) 03:14, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

A couple things you could do would be to verify that in our recent shuffle of categories we haven't missed any that apply to Altair and to make sure the trivia section follows MoS. I plan to finish that revamp tomorrow -- I finally have time to work on it. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 05:46, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Well, that didn't happen. I'll try to push it out before my martial arts practice tomorrow... Otherwise, it'll have to be Monday. Either way, feel free to make some edits -- I'll sandbox my changes and push them at a go. Most of it will be in the text of the main article. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 06:18, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. I did look over the categories and everything looks good (though I wonder if he should also be added to the "Couriers" category, since some of his missions in ACI involved running around doing errands for other Assassins), and I made a few adjustments to the Trivia section. I've sandboxed those changes for your reference, in case you're planning to replace the article wholesale. Anything else you'd like help with/anything you want me to change with the edits I've done? - Molotov.cockroach (talk) 19:35, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

I'll take a look and let you know when I'm ready for you to merge. Thanks, molotov. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 03:59, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Formatting error on Altair page

Just so you know, my edit was to fix this on the Altair page, and since you reversed the edit it's now back. Is this something you want left alone? -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 10:31, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

Avatar/sigil request

Hiya, I'm terrible at using the irc so apologies for contacting you here, but I was told to ask you for a spiffy avatar and userpage bureau sigil. If you'd be so kind, I'd like this for my sigil, and this as an Assassin avatar. --Alientraveller (talk) 20:31, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

I will try to get this up today and post to your talkpage with the results. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 21:51, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

I'm having some trouble finding the template from which the insignia's are made. I'll try tomorrow. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 05:00, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Dark, if you're still stuck finding it tomorrow, I could upload the one I used while making my own. Or, you could just take any bureau emblem and play around with the brightness/contrast/whatever so that the red logo disappears. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 20:50, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Crimson, I would love to take the one you're using as a template.DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 22:21, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

If it's ok may I drop the request for the avatar? Thanks for keeping me updated. --Alientraveller (talk) 22:12, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Why, Alien? Did you already get another one? DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 22:21, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Crook uploaded that Shao Jun image and I'd thought I'd like that (I'm slapping myself I didn't think about choosing an image of her) but if you've already made one for me then I'll gratefully accept your effort. --Alientraveller (talk) 22:33, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Here is the template I used for my staff emblem. It's a good thing I kept it after I'd used it. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 13:28, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

CSS

Sima says you've been looking at our .css sheet to see if we can replace our background in the future more easily, since the current one lacks a .png, or any other extension. So, how did that go? --Kainzorus Prime ⚜ ^{Walkie-talkie} 01:46, October 24, 2014 (UTC)

Dark, if you also could switch the color of links to a blue hue from cyan one, and the gallery captions from gray to white, that'd be grand. --Kainzorus Prime ⚜ ^{Walkie-talkie} 03:02, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

IMasun Edits: In My Defense

I have provided sufficient evidence for my edits on both the article's talk page and the talk page of Kainzorus Prime's talk page. Please look at both before accusing me of edit warring. Re-read both and I think you'll see why I wanted to revert Kainzorus Prime's edits. Toolen (talk) 04:18, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

You asked me for a source. Here is one of them. This is the description of the memory Knowledge (Masun) from Memory Block 2 of Assassin's Creed:

Masun was executed by Al Mualim for his treason. But even at the end, faced with the prospect of oblivion, he insisted his grievous work was just. I know not howRobert poisoned his mind, and I worry he is but the first of such men. The Templar must be stopped. 

The proper definition of treason is "the act of betrayal of one's own group or country". If he had just been a citizen, he would have said he had been executed for his betrayal. Another quote is the very one that adorns the top of Masun's article. The rest can all be found in the Masyaf segment of Memory Block 2 in the game. Pay particular attention to how Al Mualim says "we have been betrayed by one of our own". Toolen (talk) 06:28, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

As noted by the previous editors, the people of the Masyaf village were under the Assassin's protection but not necessarily Assassins themselves. "One of our own" could mean "one of our own villagers" as easily as it could "one of our own Assassins"; it is am ambiguous statement that leaves the listener to speculate.

As for the memory, I cite the above: if you assist the enemies of those who would protect you, is that not also a betrayal?

At no point is Masun clearly designated an Assassin in the same way Abbas, Malik, or even the trainer Rauf is. He never wears the robes that even the initiates in the Masyaf courtyard wear. There is no clear evidence he is an Assassin, though the speculation is not without merit. As it is speculation, however, it stays out of the article. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 06:33, November 19, 2014 (UTC) 

I don't think you're understanding what I meant about treason. Treason doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as betrayal. It is a specific type of betrayal: the betrayal of a group you are part of, like a country or group. That is why the traditional punishment for treason is death. It is one thing to betray someone's trust. It is quite another to betray your own group, the very people you've served and fought with. Toolen (talk) 16:30, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

From Merriam-Webster:

1: the betrayal of a trust : treachery

2: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family

As the Assassins are the sovereign and military power in Masyaf, Masun can commit treason without being a member of the order. I can commit treason against the US without being a soldier. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 16:45, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

I see your point. In that case, I believe that a more appropriate template would be Assassin allies. Even if the information provided doesn't prove with 100% certainty that he was a member of the Assassins, it leaves no doubt that he is connected to the Assassin's in some form. I will add the appropriate template. Thank you so much for your understanding and help. You made a far stronger argument against the addition of the Assassin template than Kainzorus Prime. I only wish the users on that other wiki had been as understanding as you have been. Toolen (talk) 20:38, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Games hub

Hey, Dark. Sima told me that you will be responsible for updating the games hub image with Rogue and Unity at some point. This might seem pointless, but could you remember to change Black Flag's image to its updated cover art? Though I could be wrong, I think the current image makes use of the old cover. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 21:26, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Crims -- yeah, I can do that. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 08:34, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Retirement

Hey Dark, it's been a long time... I would like to retire from my duties as an apprentice since a lot of things came up... I thought that I can't fulfill my duties here in this wiki and I need to focus on my problems first... Thanks for giving me an opportunity to serve this wiki... This message doesn't apply only to you but to the wiki as a whole and since you're my mentor, I thought it would be best to notify you first... I'll be saying my farewell to the wiki as well... Thanks for the time that you guys have given me... Safety and peace, my friend...

Regards,

AgentG231 (talk) 08:31, January 2, 2015 (UTC)

Dont Forget! Something New Appears!😀

Dont forget about Assassins Creed Victory. It's the new Assassins Creed coming this Fall of 2015. Its on Xbox One, PS4, and PC! You should write an article about it! Sadly there's no word about another Xbox 360 and PS3 game this year and is said Victory will be the only game this year, unless things change. Besides I'll get xbox One soon this next Christmas so there's no worry. 😉. It says to be set in Victorian London in the 19th century. Pretty interesting Isnt it.WOT3000 (talk) 22:13, March 5, 2015 (UTC)WOT3000

Promotion Opportunity

Greetings DarkFeather,

This is Mike from the Community Development team here at Wikia. I'm reaching out to you and the other Assassin's Creed admins today because we've recently been talking with Ubisoft in an effort to bring (even more) much deserved attention to your outstanding community. As part of these conversations, Ubisoft is interested in spotlighting your community and celebrating their upcoming trailer for Assassin's Creed: Victory by promoting it on your wiki.

Usually this includes a small promotion module on the mainpage and a relevant article page. We would of course design it with the wiki in mind, put it up, take it down and all that. Ideally, it would let fans watch the trailer right here, and then check out more of the game's characters and lore across the wiki. We'd love to be able to work closely with yourselves and Ubisoft to get you and your editors special access to the upcoming game, merch, information/interview opportunities, and more.

Is this something that you think is possible? We'd leave the promotion up a few weeks to make sure everyone sees it, and then take it down once it's run its course. Please let me know what you think, or if you have any feedback on the idea, as soon as you can via my talk page.

Thanks for your time, and hope to hear back from you

The Kenway Saga

Hello? Hi, i was wondering, why is rogue in the kenway saga? what do they both share? if the answer is adewale then why is unity not in the section to considering that Arnos father was also in the game. —unsigned comment by Ninja Bush02 (talk · contr)

Rogue was marketed as the conclusion of the Kenway Saga, because it ties together and ties up the storylines of Assassin's Creed III, Liberation, Black Flag and Freedom Cry. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 12:46, May 4, 2015 (UTC)

Unity screenshots

Hey DarkFeather,

I know you're working on the Unity screenshots, but there's a girl on tumblr (madeinmasyaf.tumblr.com) who's got dozens of albums with screencaps on a Flickr account, and her computer appears to be a bit more high-end than yours - would you be okay with it if we used hers instead? (I sent her a message about it and she's fine with it btw) I recklessly replaced one already (sorry about that), so I hope you don't mind.

Thanks for reading :) Crook ^{The Constantine District} 11:49, June 29, 2015 (UTC)

Sure, if you want to use those, knock yourself out. If that's the direction we're going, I'll try to touch up most of the memories later tonight. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 15:56, June 29, 2015 (UTC)

Wiki background

Hey, Dark. I was recently wondering how we've managed to get our wiki background into a good, fixed position like we have. I've tried to do the same with another wiki, but have got no idea how to do it. Is it some .css coding that I'm unaware of? Through theme designer, I can get it fixed or tiled, but neither look particularly good. Apparently you're the guy to ask about stuff like this. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 16:49, June 30, 2015 (UTC)

You probably want the CSS properties from MediaWiki:Common.css -- they're at the very top. You'll also want to make sure you use Chrome's Inspect Element function to make sure your Wikia installation uses the same properties. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 15:13, July 4, 2015 (UTC)

Notification

Hi

I got a question:

If someone asks you something in your talkpage, how do i answer and make them get a notification? 

DipsonDP (talk) 02:36, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

I think it's on them to check your page later or watch the Recent Changes feed. If you really want to be sure of them getting a notification, you can leave them a message on theirs. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 17:56, July 31, 2015 (UTC)

Hello Dark Feather Aeathel Princess Of Nature_talk^sign 20:15, August 14, 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Need a quick short reply if you have a sec!

I am helping out with a Game Team project and could use your assistance. In one short statement, could you tell us what excites you about Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and why you love the franchise? Thanks so much! Pinkachu<staff/> (talk) 21:00, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

Victorian London, as the intersection of trade, commerce and culture for the British Empire, offers a diverse realm of experiences. With the technology being developed at the time, I expect a rich and engaging game. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 20:09, September 30, 2015 (UTC)

Other people seem to have had this problem. Lina, perhaps you could give the method described in the link a try? Otherwise, you might be forced to delete your save data, as Nesty says :s Crook ^{The Constantine District} 13:54, November 12, 2015 (UTC)

Since Dark has not played Syndicate yet, I'm going to take the liberty of answering this question. I happen to have had the same problem in a Darwin memory, after accidentally killing someone with a throwing knife instead of tailing them. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do to fix it, short of deleting your save-data and restarting the game. Sorry! :( Amnestyyy (Contact me!) <helper /> 13:51, November 12, 2015 (UTC)

Might this be a good topic for a forum post? DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 16:06, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

in Stargate seaon 3 episode 13 Apothis is seen using a hidden blade very similar to the assasin creed blade. He also peformed the same moves with it as you can do in assasins creed. However Stargate cam out in the 90s many years before assasins creed. Its on amazon if you want to watch it The hiden blade scene is towards the end ShadowHawk5 (talk) 19:11, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

I've seen all of Stargate -- good show. And, yeah, the Gaould had a lot of interesting tech. Baraka from Mortal Kombat also had a similar weapon system and a few other places. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 16:06, November 19, 2015 (UTC)
